Lola: by Tony and his Wilberforce students
Loftus E.F. and Palmer J.C.
Thought that they could reconstruct memory
They showed clips of crashes
To university students from classes
And questioned them on what was seen
In groups of three
Two groups were asked questions of control
Distraction making them oblivious of L & P’s goal
One group however were left to decide
Was the glass on the screen or in their mind?
Questions were asked and chairs were vacated
Right where the experiment was situated
They had to make sure that the results were tight
The participants were called back to answer
Some more questions on the automobile disaster
Once finished they were thanked for their time
And here comes the conclusion to my L & P rhyme
Depending on the verbs used and questions with range
L & P found memories could be rearranged
‘The Crew’
Now this is a story all about how
Loftus & Palmer did something Wow!
And
I’d like you to take a minute just sit right there
I’ll tell you how they perceived the event without a care
In psychological evaluation of explanation the craze Loftus & Palmer spent most of their days
Chilling out nights working on food to see why it affects out memory
Then these two smart guys there were up to some good
Started picking 9 students from the neighbourhood
They showed them one little clip and they became clear
How leading questions made them fear
Loftus whistled for Palmer and when he came near
He explained reconstructive hypothesis and it was unclear
If there is anything I can say Loftus and Palmer were unaware
About the facts of psychological affair
The Kentucky String Pluckers
(This is to be sung in a hillbilly rap styleee!)
Loftus and Palmer
Rhymes with farmer
45 participants (clap)
Showed him some clips
Of cars hitting bricks
Smashed ‘em and crashed ‘em
Hit ‘em and split ‘em
Which one went fastest (clap)
Ask ‘em some questions
Give ‘em suggestions
Loftus and Palmer
(build for the big finish)
Rhymes with farmer.
Simon:
Yo yo yo this is ‘ow it go “l” to the “oftus” and Palmer too
Cool psychologists has the will to do
Their memory was changed
That was always arranged
With their reconstructed memory
Dat’s how its gonna be
Their results were legendary
As they were right
My psychologist homies tried to prove them wrong out of spite
They can’t handle the truth
But then they saw the proof
45 students sat in a room
Then watched those cars go zoom zoom zoom
They answered questions on the 7 clips
In the leading questions they were given tips
That’s it I don’t know the rest
Sos y’all know we’re such a pest.
